The true key to recovery is to get rid of the ones who are creating the problem in the first place, and the the ones lurking in the shadows,and want to turn us into slaves,and rule the whole world, and use our government as a tool for their own evil, and Obama, and all the ones in office are their puppets, and it will be the same with anyone we vote for, because we have been sold out, and are in deep trouble, and if you don't beleive that just wait and see.

Oil Industry B.S.
We are pumping more oil than anytime in the last eight years. We are pumping more natural gas than at anytime in American history. They just want to pump more and export more. Obama is NOT stopping oil or natural gas production. Greed and speculation are keeping oil and fuel prices inflated, not lack of North American production.

From the article: "Felmy blamed over-taxation, limited access to federal lands, and stifling regulation for slowing industry production and with it the economic recovery."
===================================================================
He might have added the over spending by the government and the running of the printing presses by the FED as major factors preventing any economic recovery.

Unfettered seems to be a poor choice of words when used to described what an oil producer is allowed to do. Akin to saying it makes no difference how hungry the fox is while guarding the hen house.

We know prices are no longer based solely on supply & demand -- We're not stupid!!
Stop the speculation to bring prices back to reasonable levels at home!
TopGunn has a good point -- "Would already be there except for political interference."

I blame the sluggish recovery on big o, certainly not the american petroleum institute. If we drill on all our land and become self sufficient then big oil can export more crude and make more than 368 million bucks a day profit as they do now, perhaps.

"If oil producers had unfettered access to North American fields, the country could be self-sufficient within a dozen years, a top industry economist said Friday."
And if they did have "unfettered access to North American fields" would they drop gasoline prices?????

This administration wants to tax oil and gas companies that are profitable and creating jobs to throw more money at "green energy" companies that keep going belly-up.
Punish success and reward failure. That's the way to recovery?

How can we become self-sufficient when it comes to oil. Since oil is sold on the world market, if we add more oil to the market, OPEC will just decrease their output. And by doing that, it will keep the price of oil high.

John Felmy, chief economist for the American Petroleum Institute, said much of the land where the oil lies is under federal control and off limits to the industry. He said political policy needs to change to allow the industry to contribute to the country’s economic recovery.
Is there any chance that Obama would change any of his green policies to allow an economic recovery? I really don't think so.

This is not a new theory...It has been said for years that the US has enough untapped oil to last 100 years without importing a drop of oil from anybody...we just need to get approval to access it.
If we can get access that oil, that will give us up to 100 years to develop alternative energies like, natural gas, hydrogen fuel cells, better batteries for electric cars, Solar power, wind power, nuclear power, compress air engines, and the list goes on an on. I doubt that it will take anywhere near 100 years, but Obama thinks we can change over night and is pushing the country into economic collaps and bankruptcy thinking he can change everthing before the elections.
